WWE 2K22 is the new, redesigned game in the WWE 2K franchise. The game took more time to be developed than ever before. The game is overall pretty good, with much fewer bugs and glitches in the gameplay, some new additions like Combos and Breakers to the game.

There are also many new game modes like GM Mode, revamped MyRise, MyFaction, and more. However, there are still some issues with the game. At first everything works fairly well, until you start playing with custom superstars and downloadable content too much. The game has a limit of nearly 1000 MB of custom images storage and 100 custom superstars created.

WWE 2K22 Crash Cause

That in itself is kind of small, considering it was the limit on the old generation of consoles. With the release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S it would only make sense to make that limit a little bit bigger.

To make things worse, if you exceed 100 MB of storage out of 1000 MB available or go over 250 Images saved, which takes around 90 MB of data, then the game just breaks.

I encountered this issue after downloading many new Images as Portraits. I was assigning them to my custom superstars, and suddenly the game crushed. Furthermore, I thought it’s nothing big, but since that moment forward I was not able to access Edit Custom Superstar menu. The game would constantly crush on me.

WWE 2K22 Crash Solution

I have read that some crashes are also happening on other game modes, Universe Mode and more. The ultimate solution is to reinstall the game, but some temporary solutions are just going into Deletion Utility and deleting some custom images one by one.

This menu is located in the Options tab in the main menu, in the Extras section. At the bottom is the Deletion Utility you can use to delete some images. You need to choose this option and then switch to Custom Images tab by pressing R1/L1 on PlayStation or RB/LB on Xbox.

Be aware that this menu can also crush on you, then you need to turn on the game once more and try again. The safe number at this time is to keep the images under 200, and files at approximately 80 MB. Once again, 80 MB out of 1000 MB possible. It is kind of funny but should not have taken place in a finished product with over two and a half year production time. Hopefully it will be patched as soon as possible. From what I know 2K is aware of the issue.
